    Hi All,

    It's possible i'm being overly suspicious from bad experiences in the past but I've organised a viewing of an apartment tomorrow morning through Daft.ie's mail system (was late last night and didn't feel like talking) and got a reply at 4am from an email address in asian characters.

    I'm just wondering if anyone has ever encountered this before? Anything i should watch for?

    Cheers!

    Daft are normally pretty good at picking up on scams. I imagine you'll get an email later saying to stay away or something to that effect. If you're really interested, call the letting agent, and see if they know anything about it. Hope this helps. :)

    Thanks for the reply,

    There is no letting agent associated with it, just a pair of numbers.

    I might just go along and have a look tomorrow and see whats what then and there

    just discovered the email address is the same one used for http://www.com2ireland.com/ this site

    Now if only I could figure out if the site was legit :)

    Well, seeing as it crashed my browser, I wouldn't be too enthusiastic.

    I'd report it to daft.

    Com2ireland is an agency who find colleges in Ireland on behalf of Chinese students. I've dealt with them a few times, in person with the manager, on the phone and by email. I never knew they had a website??
